The Song of the Stars

In a world where the northern lights danced like the souls of fallen warriors, there lived a warrior named Raekar Stormbringer. He was no ordinary Viking the blood of the ancient gods coursed through his veins, and his heart beat to the rhythm of the cosmic sea.
The prophecy of the rune-seer Vylka foretold that a warrior with an axe forged from star-steel would prevent the end of the world. But Raekar laughed at prophecies. He lived for battle, for the roar of waves against the hull of his longship, and for the echo of his axe in the bones of his enemies. Until the sky split open.

The Fall of the World Tree

One winter, the order of the world shattered. The World Tree Yggvyr was torn from the heavens when a starship from a distant galaxy crashed through the cosmic barrier. The ship, driven by ancient energies, buried itself in the heart of the northern lands.
From the wreckage crawled the Nattvargr wolf-like creatures made of living shadow that devoured the light of the stars. They hunted humans, their claws ripping through villages, and their howls freezing blood in the veins of all who heard them. The gods were silent. But Raekar was not.

The Starforge

Raekar roamed the scorched land, gathering survivors around him. They called him the Sky Berserker, for in battle, his eyes burned like the stars themselves. When he reached the wreck, he found the ship’s heart chamber an ancient machine that still pulsed with celestial energy. He plunged his weapon into the glowing core, and his axe transformed into an artifact of pure cosmic power. The armor he wore became infused with the light of lost stars, and the fur on his shoulders shone like the aurora borealis.

The Final Storm

With his newborn Sky Axe, Raekar faced the Nattvargr in a final battle at Stormcliff. The sky was black, lightning split the darkness, and Raekar fought alone against the Alpha Vargr — a monstrosity as large as a longhouse, with eyes like black holes.
He struck, again and again, until his arms burned. And with the final blow, his axe exploded in a supernova of light. The Nattvargr were incinerated in a blazing wave of starfire, and the sky cleared once more. Raekar vanished into the light.

The Saga Lives On

The survivors still tell the tale of the Sky Berserker. They say Raekar did not die but now watches over the world as a guardian of the stars. And when the northern lights dance, and the wind carries the echo of an axe, the Northmen know: The Sky Berserker fights on.
